I would like to know if using both methods of anonymity I am being really stealthy and if you have any method that you can recommend I would appreciate it to use a mobile and send messages anonymously.

It's important to remember that just as important a factor is where you are on your own and what you're using anonymity technology for online. If you live in the U.S., it is better not to use Wickr.

I am in another country.
Do you recommend me to use some other protection for my privacy? I'm thinking of using a carbon phone. I want to feel safe.

It's hard to answer that question. There is nothing that is completely safe. For me, the best protection is jabber (with otr or omemo encryption) + traffic through a tor browser. The operating system tails or whonix.
But it all depends on the context of what you need it all for. Many are content with secret telegram chats and think that everything is fine.

a wise man once said.
never use the most popular anonymous tools.
try to use a not so commercial product.
wickr his time is over . jabber is verry good with otr only the problem is that just a smal group off vendors , admins use it

for simple messages there is still one verry good tool
privnote.com

Hi,

The best way to protect yourself is host it all by yourself

I just don't recommend using wickr. It's better to use jabber. Wickr is headquartered in the USA.

Yeah I heard that its owned by amazon.
Problem with jabber is that 95% of people dont know how to use it.

Popularizing anonymous means of communication and commerce is the hardest part of our business. Everyone is used to convenience, which is rarely combined with anonymity and security.

Can deleted Wickr messages be recovered by LE?

I use NordVPN which AFAIK keeps no logs

I think MullVad is also like this

Most VPNs keep logs automatically dangerous

Nothing is completely safe

Wickr gonna close at end of 2023 it doesn't accept new users.
Better find and use open source app.

Telegram signal and wickr are not safe at all there's many threads on them already

On mobile apps you should use are Atox, Session,xabber with OTR

Pc laptop based pidgin with otr or retroshare they both provide end to end encryption

I've read many great things about Session & the Oxen network itself. Only issue I can think of is that servers are still by managed by developers of the Oxen network. The Oxen network also lacks large adoption which is why I'm sticking away from it for now. Apparently they are implementing a "Premium" subscription to their messenger which never sets well with me.

Tox routed over Tor is my go to solution, but that may change soon. P2P networks still have their inherent vulnerabilities but with Tor layered over Tox you're reasonably secure.

Maybe with session you will be safer, i don't trust no more old app like telegram or wickr...
In any case it will be even better if you run GrapheneOs (on a google pixel phone) with tor and orbot before adding the vpn
